Section 302. Stenographers must furnish copies of proceedings  


Latest version.
  • 1. Every
      stenographer in a court of record must, upon request, furnish, with  all
      reasonable  diligence,  to the defendant in a criminal case, or a party,
      or his attorney in a civil cause, a copy, written out at length from his
      stenographic notes, of the testimony and proceedings, or a part thereof,
      upon the trial or hearing, upon payment, by  the  person  requiring  the
      same, of the fees allowed by law.
        2.  Except  as  provided  in subdivision three of this section, in any
      civil or criminal case, if the district attorney, the  attorney  general
      or  the  judge  presiding  at the trial, or any appellate court or judge
      thereof, requires such a copy, the stenographer is entitled to his  fees
      therefor;  but  he  must furnish it, upon receiving a certificate of the
      sum to which he is entitled. The amount thereof  must  be  paid  by  the
      treasurer  of the county or city, as the case may be, where the trial or
      hearing is held, upon the certificate of the district attorney, attorney
      general, the judge presiding at the trial or hearing, or  the  appellate
      court  or  judge  thereof,  from  the court fund, or the fund from which
      jurors are paid, or from any other available fund.
        3. In any civil case when  a  transcript  may  be  necessary,  if  the
      attorney  general  requires  such a copy, the cost of such copy shall be
      paid out of funds  appropriated  to  the  department  of  law  for  that
      purpose.
